Night Kitchen Amsterdam is an Eastern Mediterranean neo-bistro and late-night bar in Oud-West, whose signature Dinner with Friends format serves chef-curated, family-style shared plates built around a menu personalised to each group.
The dining room mixes high tables, low tables, bar seating and shared dining tables, with a kitchen and bar that run late, giving the room a relaxed and convivial character rather than a formal one.
For groups the restaurant works in two formats. Intimate group dinners seat up to 32 guests around curated sharing menus with optional drinks packages, while private and semi-private takeovers from 32 guests upward give a group exclusive or semi-exclusive use of the space, flexible layouts and an event flow built around its own programme.
Dietary preferences shape the menu rather than sit beside it, since every Dinner with Friends menu is composed for the group in advance, so vegetarian, vegan and allergy requirements are handled within the shared table itself.
Opening hours:
Open every day from early evening. Kitchen and bar hours:
- Monday-Thursday: 18:00-00:00
- Friday-Saturday: 18:00-01:00
- Sunday: 18:00-23:00
The kitchen serves until 23:00 nightly; the bar stays open later.
The "Dinner with Friends" menu is created for each group according to dietary preferences, served family-style to share. A representative selection includes:
- Fresh sourdough bread with garlic confit butter, smoked aubergine creme and house pickles
- Tomato carpaccio with pita croutons, basil and mozzarella
- Mediterranean "ceviche" - cured corvina with tabbouleh salad, Medjoul dates and roasted aubergine creme
- Roasted cauliflower salad with feta and chives creme, rocket, cherries and pistachios
- Homemade gnudi - ricotta dumplings with cured lemon butter and artichoke hearts
- Grilled sea bass fillets with spiced beurre blanc, peppers and smoked almond
- Slow-cooked lamb with polenta, roasted broccolini and demi-glace
- Chocolate mousse with salted caramel and hazelnuts
- Pistachio tiramisu with whipped mascarpone
Several drinks arrangements are available alongside the menu, ranging from a water-only service to a full selection of house wines, tap beers, cocktails and sparkling wine, served freely for the duration of the event.
